code FIXED: Issue with correct extraction of index names from the database. The root cause of this issue was the way that columns from indxes were retrieved. It was assumed that the column names formed the index name, which isn't necessarily true (E.g. when the index is named "SearchFields"). The behaviour of the module was updated to create case-sensitive index and trigger names, which could then be used to later tell Silverstripe which indexes existed in the database. These could be compared to the SiteTree::$indexes property in a case-sensitive fashion to determine which indexes needed to be created / updated. This update fixes a lot of the unnecessary/broken DDL operations that occurred. 2012-09-17 16:15:00 +12:00

PostgreSQL Module Module

Maintainer Contact

Requirements

  • SilverStripe 2.4
  • PostgreSQL 8.3.x or greater must be installed
  • PostgreSQL <8.3.0 may work if T-Search is manually installed
  • Known to work on OS X Leopard, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Linux

Installation

  1. Extract the contents so they reside as a postgresql directory inside your SilverStripe project code
  2. Open the installer by browsing to install.php, e.g. http://localhost/silverstripe/install.php
  3. Select PostgreSQL in the database list and enter your database details

Usage Overview

See docs/en for more information about configuring the module.

Known issues

All column and table names must be double-quoted. PostgreSQL automatically lower-cases columns, and your queries will fail if you don't.

Ts_vector columns are not automatically detected by the built-in search filters. That means if you're doing a search through the CMS on a ModelAdmin object, it will use LIKE queries which are very slow. If you're writing your own front-end search system, you can specify the columns to use for search purposes, and you get the full benefits of T-Search.

If you are using unsupported modules, there may be instances of MySQL-specific SQL queries which will need to be made database-agnostic where possible.
